Report Abuse. The collision of an oceanic plate, and a continental plate produce a plate boundary known as a subduction zone. The colder, denser [typically basaltic crust (approx. 3.3g/cm^3)] oceanic plate is forced underneath the less dense [typically granitic (d= 2.7)] continental crust.
Most of the Earth's seismic activity (volcanoes and earthquakes) occurs at the plate boundaries as they interact. The top layer of the Earth's surface is called the crust (it lies on top of the plates). Oceanic crust (the thin crust under the oceans) is thinner and denser than continental crust.Crust is constantly being created and destroyed; oceanic crust is more active than continental crust.he results differ, depending upon what types of plates are involved. Oceanic Plate and Continental Plate-When a thin, dense oceanic plate collides with a relatively light, thick continental plate, the oceanic plate is forced under the continental plate; this phenomenon is called subduction.
